and lolz....who pays for porn these days


You'd be surprised. Because of restrictions in my old university we can't use P2P and torrents, so most dudes go to the actual websites and pay. Something about Youjizz taking too long to have updated material. xD My former roomate had subs for all sorts of websites.


Their are a shitload of free websites. Updated material? Many free sites have a good amount of updated material, also their is nothing wrong with clips up to 8 years old.

Porn is free that's a fact.
most of my money goes to anime and then videogames.



Xbox live: kyokusanagiii    Watching: Patlabor The Mobile Police (OAV 1)

socialising. Stupid amounts of money.

drinks
taxis
attending events
Clubbing

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

In my last relationship, I spent like 50X more on my fiance than I did on videogames. Then I found out she had an affair and called the whole thing off, even moved to another city so I could not see her anymore. Even dropped my second college, as she was in my class.

Today I spent more in videogames than any other kind of fun, as I am single now, have no family and don´t travel tha much. I do own some guitars and eletric guitars, but I never was crazy about expensive musical instruments.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Games. But that is becoming less and less. I think this last gen I spent the most money I ever did, but this next gen will definitely be less.

Previous gen, like before, I had all consoles and in general, enjoyed all the games I bought, with a few exceptions like DS games and Wii games.

This gen, with the failure of the Vita (which imo will limit its lifetime significantly thus limit how many games I can get for it), the limited appeal of the Wii U, the continued trend the 3DS has from the DS, and the XBONES major design flubs, I don't see myself owning more than just the PS4 and PSV (which again PSV being a failure...).

In general I think I may end up buying less than half of what I bought before.

I'm not sure what I will spend all my excess money on. Probably just savings. I have no social life whatsoever and do not really care about most other material things.

It is! When I was in the Caribbean I used to spend tons on it. If it's not a club it's a lounge type setting. Then there's the movies, concerts, sporting events, festivals, RESTAURANTS ... I can't stress how much one has to spend on food when friends are involved. Luckily I didn't have to spend much on transport since all my friends drove.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Tenpin Bowling. Over AU$1800 per year on league easily beats out the few hundred that I usually spend on gaming (a little more in a year where I buy hardware, like the Wii U this year).

Gym membership probably also comes out ahead of gaming, at a little over AU$700 a year.

Seriously.  How many leagues are you in.  That's just... crazy.

I could bowl 12 games a week without even getting a league deal.

As i recall back when we were first dating. I think i spent more on gaming.

I mean what... with feminism and stuff... generally we went by a "Whoever makes the plans pays for the date" situation, so it ended up pretty 50-50, and a date usually just consisted of going out to eat or renting a movie or both.

Which usually ended up being pretty cheap because we lived in Cleveland and all the vegetarian places were cheap.



Now a days were share living costs and I have a huge steam backlog... so depending on how you parse that out it could go either way....

but I rarely buy ANY video game for more then $5.

$7 is what it'd consider a fair price for most.

Only pay original retail if it's a game i feel like i MUST have right away.

 

 

I spend the most money on rent and food.

 

 

I'm currently in the same boat with respect to food. Since I discovered that I have a gluten sensitivity (and some mild colon issues), I’ve hard to make alterations to my diet. I’m always checking ingredients and drawing comparisons. The majority of foods that I have to eat are very expensive (devoid of wheat and vegetable oils like soy, corn, etc).


Yeah my girlfriend is Vegan soooo.... expensive soy, almond random stuff.

You can make a pretty awesome cheese sauce out of cashews interestingly.

One league, four games a week. Big prize fund (from memory, I think it's $17 for game costs and $21 goes into the prize fund, each week). Came away with more than $1100 in prize money at the end of the year, this year.



that porn must be awesome...
